Events: Game Junkie

Exercise your thumbs and stock up on RedBull for Cincinnati’s largest gaming festival. Game Junkie Presents: Winter Wonderland will be jam-packed with more than 20 video game stations, including Rock Band 2, Atari 2600 and PlayStation 3 to play all night long. There will also be tournaments featuring such games as Halo 3, Soul Caliber IV, Street Fighter II HD and many more. Spaces are limited, so be sure to sign up early before they fill up.

Prizes and trophies will be given to all of the winners. For the Street Fighter tournament, the winner will receive a full-size Street Fighter II Championship Edition Arcade Cabinet. Be sure to bring your own game system to show off to your friends. And if the games aren’t enough to keep you occupied, there will be a place for you to dance into the night along with tunes on an epic sound system. But don’t worry about running out of energy; there will be a snack and caffeine bar open for the duration of the gaming fest. The event will be held at 7 p.m. at Lakota East High School in Liberty Township. Pre-registration is $30, $40 at the door.
